Lateral flow assay (LFA), or the immunochromatographic strip test, is popular to use for rapid and sensitive immunoassays. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), due to tunable optical characteristics and easy manipulation of size or shape, represent an attractive approach for LFA technology. Since most enterohemorrhagic infections result from water and food contaminations of Escherichia coli O157:H7, selective and rapid detection of this organism in environmental and biological complexes is necessary. In this study, optimized parameters of antibody (Ab)-based LFA for rapid detection of pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 are described. GNPs were used as visualizing agents. The measuring parameters include the Ab concentration on the capture lines, the concentration of gold conjugate, and flow rate. M180 and 36 nm were the ideal membrane and GNP size, respectively, for bacterial detection of LFA. The target, E. coli O157:H7, could be detected with a visual limit of detection of 105 cfu/mL in 3-5 min. Selectivity of the system was very high and the target was recognized by developed strips, regardless of its presence singly or in mixed bacterial samples.

A new contact & slip model for tracked vehicle transient dynamics on hard ground Ozdemir, Mehmet Nuri; Kilic, Varlik; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2017-10-01) This study presents a new general transient contact and slip model for tracked vehicles on hard ground which is simple, accurate, and in agreement with the test results to a satisfactory level. Simulating zero track speed instances become possible with the new contact/shear model which is the major proposed improvement in addition to more accurate results for transient steering and tractive inputs. The model represents a general tracked vehicle having rear or front sprockets, with parameters for center of g...
Combination of Computer Simulations and Experimental Measurements as the Training Dataset for Statistical Estimation of Epicardial Activation Maps From Venous Catheter Recordings Cunedioglu, Ugur; Yilmaz, Buelent (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-03-01) One of the epicardial mapping techniques requires the insertion of multiple multi-electrode catheters into the coronary vessels. The recordings from the intracoronary catheters reflect the electrical activity on the nearby epicardial sites; however, most of epicardial surface is still inaccessible. In order to overcome this limited access problem, a method called the linear least squares estimation was proposed for the reconstruction of high-resolution maps using sparse measurements. In this technique, the ...
Characterizations of PLA-PEG blends involving organically modified montmorillonite Ozdemir, Esra; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2017-09-01) In this study, organically modified montmorillonite composites of poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) blends involving 10,15 and 20 wt% PEG were prepared. The characterization of the composite systems was conducted with various techniques such as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DP-MS) in addition to tensile te...
Evaluation of Staphylococcus aureus DNA aptamer by enzyme-linked aptamer assay and isothermal titration calorimetry BAYRAÇ, CEREN; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2017-02-01) To monitor the specificity of Staphylococcus aureus aptamer (SA-31) against its target cell, we used enzyme-linked aptamer assay. In the presence of target cell, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin bound to biotin-labeled SA-31 showed specific binding to S aureus among 3 different bacteria with limit of detection of 103 colony-forming unit per milliliter. The apparent K-a was 1.39 mu M-1 +/- 0.3 mu M-1. The binding of SA-31 to membrane proteins extracted from cell surface was characterized using ...
Determining Treatibility of Primary Teeth with Pulpal Exposure DOĞAN, Salih; DURUTÜRK, LEYLA SEVİNÇ; Orhan, A.; Batmaz, İnci (2013-06-01) Objectives: To determine rates of pulpal exposure during caries removal with an excavator or a bur, to assess success rates of vital pulp therapies in both cases, to analyze pulpal bleeding as an indicator of primary teeth treatabilioi. Study Design: Of the 352 primary mandibular molars with deep carious lesions, 141 with pulp exposed during the removal of caries were grouped according to type of instrument causing pulpal exposure and existence of bleeding at the exposure site. Teeth suitable for direct pul...
